 33 // This class is a process responsible for the transportation of 
 34 // a particle, ie the geometrical propagation that encounters the 
 35 // geometrical sub-volumes of the detectors.
 36 //
 37 // It is also tasked with the key role of proposing the "isotropic safety",
 38 //   which will be used to update the post-step point's safety.
